Oops!

Not sure if I've mentioned this one here, but years back, in the town paper, the editor's right hand strayed too far in that direction while he was recapping my sister's youth soccer team's shutout performance... FORT rules prevent me from typing what the newspaper told us, but replace the first "u" with an "i" and I think you'll get the idea.

Re: Grammar

Years ago in my hometown newspaper, before computers, they produced the local ads for stores and didn't really get copy from a corporate office (all the stores were locally owned).
Well one clothing store had an ad in the paper that week for Knit Shirts, but they forgot the "R". The paper was inundated with phone calls. As this was a cattle producing area, people were calling in asking how you knit that stuff as they had pastures FULL of it.
